as I wrote here: http://getsatisfaction.com/dell/topic...
I have a very similar problem, and my warranty ended a few months ago (obviously...). I also tried with a different ac adapter with no success. I never tried another battery though.

Did anybody contact support about this issue?

Do you think this solves the problem? Mark it as solved

M1330 extremely slow charge and battery light oddity
Since a month, I noticed my M1330 battery charges extremely slowly, i.e. it takes up to 2 days to go from 0 to 100%!!
The battery is reported to work correctly and to be in good health.
Some strange symptoms: as soon as the power adapter is connected, the battery light turns on (solid blue) only for a few seconds and then turns off. On the other hand, when the charge is approaching completion, the battery light flashes, as it is supposed to do (as I read on the owner's manual).
I also tried with another Dell power adapter and nothing changes, so I fear it's something related to the motherboard (that was replaced for the nvidia issue at the end of november 2008). As for BIOS, it's version A15.
Unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago... :(
